Chuck...
I've been lucky enough to see Chuck play live a bunch of times... The most memorable was a gig he did at a long gone bar in NYC named the "Lone Star Cafe", probably around '85... The edge of the stage area of the Lone Star was about 10 feet from the opposite wall, so seeing acts close up was a given... I'd say that Chuck was up on stage for maybe a couple of hours, sweatin' and banging it out... What impressed me most about that gig, was that since the Lone Star was really a Blues & Country venue, Chuck not only played his usual roster of hits, he also got down and played the Blues... And the truth is that Chuck knows the Blues, and can do it when he wants to...
Man, I miss that place... If I would have realized then, how special that bar was, I would have been there every night... So it goes...
Cheers,
Joe
